The Homicide in West Virginia.

The homicide in Mercer Co., W. Va, in
VIM. W. Merriken of this city was nvolv-
ed, was committed on Sunday night. Oct.
3Oth, about 10 o'clock. The scene was a
mining village called Simmons Greek, and
the occurrence took place on the railroad
track. The circumstances as far as they
were developed before the coroner's jury,
were as follows:
Young Merrlken had been on spree for
several days, condition in which all the
parties to the difficulty seem to have
, shared. A man named Copeland, with
whom Merriken boarded, had just had a
fight with his father-in-law, in which his
face was severely cut. He walked out on
the railroad track vowing vengeance
against the man who had cut his face.-
At that moment three men, Merriken,
Duffy and Schrader, came up the track
! all drunk, Duffy the drunkest being be-
tween the two. duffy rushed on Copeland
and engaged in scuffle with him. Merri-
| ken told Duffy to let Copeland alone,
whereupon he turned On Merriken. M
| who by this time had drawn pistol. fired
on him, shooting him In the neck and cut
ting the windpips. Duffy lived about two
| hours, long enough to state to the Doctor
who was called to him. that Merriken had
shot him. and for nothing. Merrken es-
capped to the mountains and had not been
apprehended at last accounts. The police
were telegraphing in all directions for his
capture, and = MESSAGE Was received here
! by Chief of Police Waters offering a re-
ward for bis arrest. Young Merriken
is not yet twenty-one years of age. There
seems to have been no generalization or
malice about the deed, as he was on good
terms with Duffy, and the whole thing
| seems to have been the outcome of a
i drunken bout in which all were in about
